Original logbook of the Albatross covering station numbers D2387-D2408 and H590-H676, recorded 4 to 16 March 1885. Data recorded include station number (no.), date, machine, turns, correction, depth, shot or lead, bottom, bottom temperature, number of thermometer, correction, corrected temperature, air temperature, surface temperature, drift, trawl or dredge, sounding wire readings, dredge rope readings, serial temperatures, and general remarks. Remarks sometimes record types of specimens caught. Localities are not listed in this volume, but they were possibly traveling from Washington, D. C. to Pensacola, Florida, and New Orleans, Louisiana (based on the history of the ship's activities)
